1. You have to pay a certain amount of money for the franchise.
2. You will only use Breeze detergents and downy. You are not allowed to use any soaps or fabric softener. except the two.
3. They charge P35.00 per kilo for wash and P45.00 per kilo for dry cleaning and ironing.
4. They pick up and deliver the items to their customers.
5. You are required to submit monthly Income Statement.
6. From time to time, there is a mystery customer who comes to the laundry shop to check if you are still complying with the standards set by the franchisor.
7. There are suprise audits from time to time.
8. The sharing of profit is 60-40. The 40% will go to the franchisor.
whoa! grabe naman pala kta ng franchisor diyan.
I find this quite ironic. The detergent is made by Unilever and the fabric softener is made by Procter & Gamble.
I agree with you Kuya, I already questioned the owner of Lavandera ko. It has something to do with the quality of the product.
you are right Kuya, and they have this mystery customer to check if you are abiding with the policy.
If you want, I can photocopy the franchise agreement of Lavandera ko. You can pick it up from Pex office next week.
I think that this is a service that is not really differentiated by so-called "brands"...
I have always been interested in putting up one, aside from low start up capital, its not that risky as compared to food or cybercafes...
KuyaDanny,
How much do you think one costs? Hindi ba kaya ng mga mas murang brands gaya ng SHARP sa mga laundry shop?
wow. i mean if this is true and franchisor is getting away with it, more power to them.
theres a sucker born every minute, i guess.
The models I saw are commercial washers. They are more rugged than those made for use in your home. Tandaan mo, sa laundry shop bugbog ang makina mo, kaya kung gagamit ka lang ng washing machine na pambahay, mas madalas pa siguro nasa pagawaan yung makina kaysa naglalaba.
I agree with you. We have been sending out the laundry at home to a commercial service for the last three years. The clothes are picked up and delivered twice a week. We did not choose our laundry service provider because of the brand, and neither did we choose it for the price (they are not the cheapest around). We chose it because we know the owner and saw for ourselves the quality attitude of her employees. They care about our clothes and pay attention to our requests and complaints.
If this is the case, I hope I can convince you one of these days to be my client should I push through with the business.
On the side, Laundry Shop People do not use P&G or Unilever products. I heard that they buy detergents directly from manifacturers (unbranded, that is). Its way much cheaper, I suppose.
thanks
